So, I am officially hunting for a flat today! We have a solicitor (who, happily, I already knew but didn’t know what he did) and a mortgage “agreement in principle” and I have the day off to be shown around flats by agents. eeep!

Of course, due to a slight gap in showings I’ve managed to pop into the Apple store in Regent Street and am typing this on a shiny MacBook… oddly for a mac laptop it’s the screen that’s shiny and not the laptop. It’s very bright and I like the new keyboard, although it somehow feels a little bit of a cheaper keyboard… is that just me? I’d still take one anyway

Oooh, extra wide touchpad… just noticed…

And another thing, right? As soon as I stop working in Kingston Apple announce they will open an Apple Store in the Bentalls centre – what’s up with that? Gargh!

So yes, flathunting. Trying not to put in an offer on the first reasonably good place I see, despite everyone saying “quick, buy now before someone else!”

So, have seen some good places in Bermondsey today, one with plenty of space but – of course – pushing both the top price bracket quite a bit. Erk. Am off to Foxtons Balham this afternoon so now doubt will be shown lots of highly inappropriate crack dens in Brixton. Hey, it’ll make me appreciate the Bermondsey one more!
